It is also an interactive museum in that the visitor can experience the thrill of travel by riding the Roman saddle, or wander down a Roman street. For those who are more adventurous, there is the opportunity to try out replicas of the Roman soldiers weapons and artillery. One of the main attractions is the recreated Hadrian's Wall gallery that is built on the site of the original wall that ran through Carlisle. For school parties, there is also the chance to try on Roman costumes. |

The Tullie House Border Galleries tell the story of the Debatable Lands which are made up of Carlisle, Cumbria and the Borders. The museum has many artefacts which were gathered from the north west region of the Roman Province of Britannia. It gives a vivid account of the life for the Roman military and the civilians under their control in this remote outpost. There are examples of nearly everything that was used in everyday life from such items as sewing kits to the letters the soldiers would write home to their families.
